Hello Squid group users!
Thought this may be interesting to some Squid users who use or plan to
use ICAP in their deployments.
Best regards,

-----------------------
QuintoLabs released the next version of Content Security 1.3 for Squid
Proxy Server. This version adds several new features, bug fixes and
improvements:
1. Added support for Fedora 15 and (!) Microsoft Windows. It is now
possible to have ICAP server running in Windows environments. The
additional functionality though (like definition updates, UI reports
generation and so on) will be included in the next version only.
2. New Ad Block filtering engine (2.0) is integrated into the
application. The engine understands more constraints on AdBlock Plus
filters and behaves nicely with domain and object type white lists.
3. Installation directory structure has been reorganized to closer match
the Linux file system standard.
4. File name based blocking is greatly improved as the engine now used
advances algorithm to parse names out of HTTP responses.
5. Web based UI of the application is improved. Logs of definition
updates and product configuration can be viewed from the browser now.
For more detailed information see the release notes at

FYI
QuintoLabs Content Security is an ICAP daemon/URL rewriter that
integrates with existing Squid Proxy Server and provides rich content
filtering functionality to sanitize Internet traffic passing into
internal home/enterprise network. It may be used to block illegal or
potentially malicious file downloads, remove annoying advertisements,
prevent access to various categories of the web sites and block
resources with explicit content.
